This spot was for Mychal Kendricks if the Eagles won but the way Brandon Boykin won the game for the Eagles earns the spot for him. The Eagles cornerback came up big early in the game as the Cowboys were in the redzone and Kyle Orton threw a jump ball to Dez Bryant, who was in single coverage with Boykin. Boykin climbed the ladder to break up the pass and force a field goal. Boykin also ended the Cowboys comeback attempt with his interception of Orton with less than two minutes remaining to ice the win. He led the team with three passes defended.
